Introduction to GIS for Public Health

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) are becoming increasingly used to advance equity and sustainability programs. This course will provide an introduction to different GIS software packages, as they are currently used by researchers and policymakers. We will explore existing mapping tools currently used to advance health equity in federal policy, create maps using ArcGIS Online, perform geospatial analysis using ArcGIS Desktop and QGIS, and spatially link various disparate datasets to enhance our analyses. Students are encouraged to bring topics and questions they want to explore, as they will have the chance to work on them throughout the course.
